Description After getting a lot of requests for "What color is that thing?" I decided to put together complete color guides for the new My Little Pony TV show characters. They're intended for informational purposes only and are produced independently. In most cases the swatches are researched from the official artwork. When that's not available, I used some analysis and my swatch libraries to get within the ballpark.

Remember to download the attached PDF file and use that for reference. Do not use the preview PNG for reference material, it's intended only for preview on DeviantArt. If you're using one of those browsers that calls up Google's HTML5 PDFViewer in DeviantArt, it mangles the color display since it is not color managed. As always, please view the PDF in Acrobat or a viewer that supports color management.

Big Mac has a big palette due to his cutie (stud?) mark and his yoke. All of these breakdowns are made available. Note that while they are similar, his hair and stroke are not the same as Applejack, and his hooves are not the same as Apple Bloom's.

----

Because none of these colors could be reasonably described in a name system, I've elected to provide this guide in sRGB values.

This guide is not affiliated with Hasbro in any way and is produced solely in the interest of color science. For a changelog, more long-winded explanations, and other discussions, see this forum topic: [link]

.:.LOOKING FOR THE NAME OF THE COLOR?.:.

As a writer and Big Macintosh enthusiast *coughs* I have been wondering what exactly to call the color of Big Macintosh's coat. Because of your sRGB value work, *kefkafloyd , I've narrowed it down to somewhere between the following two shades:
- Material Girl www.nze.co.nz/colour_swatch_li…
and
- Desire www.nze.co.nz/colour_swatch_li…

For my fellow writers out there, just go with either rust, crimson, or pastel red. They are about the closest we can get to his true color. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_o…
